The Sister Wound: Healing What We Were Never Taught to Name

Amanda Ashworth Season 2 Episode 98

Why do we compare ourselves to other women instead of celebrating them? Why does another woman's success sometimes feel like our failure? And why is it so hard to trust female friendships when we desperately crave them?

In this powerful episode, life and business coach Amanda Ashworth names the invisible wound most women carry but rarely talk about: the Sister Wound. This is the deep conditioning that taught us to see other women as competition instead of companions—and it's keeping us isolated, competitive, and exhausted.

Amanda shares her own vulnerable story of recognizing this wound at a networking event and how building the Worldschooling Hub in Goa taught her that healing doesn't happen in isolation—it happens in community.

In this episode, you'll discover:

  • The three ways the Sister Wound shows up in your daily life (comparison, competition, and isolation)
  • Where this conditioning comes from and why it's not your fault
  • A transformative reframe: jealousy as a compass pointing to what you truly want
  • Three practical practices to start healing this wound immediately
  • Why vulnerability is the bridge that connects women instead of dividing them

If you've ever felt that pang of jealousy when another woman succeeds, struggled to genuinely celebrate other women, or kept female friendships at arm's length to protect yourself—this episode is for you.
